i recently replaced my passenger side front tire because it had a knot, here it is 2 months later and a new tire and a new knot. what could be the reason why my tires are getting knots?
you could desire to declare it as salvage and sign in it through vehicle call Branding and get a Rebuilt Salvage call. Doing so differs from State to State, even nevertheless it many times starts off by making use of having your assurance verify that that's salvage.
this sounds like failure of the tire cord you might have run up on the curb or hit a object on the road you must replace that tire also if it was the same brand the tire could be defective that is manufactured wrong where the cord is not strong enough for the tire if it is a bias ply tire this is common also i suggest buying a steel belted radial ok good luck
I work at a tire shop. There are 2 types of knots that people come in complaining about. 1) A knot on the tread portion of the tire. (The part that touches the ground) This is a defect. The steel cords have shifted, which caused the knot. 2) A knot on the sidewall portion of the tire. (The part that does not touch the ground) This is not a defect. This comes from hitting curbs, potholes, speed bumps, etc.
If it is a bump that protrudes outwards, that is called an impact bruise or impact break.It is caused by the tire getting pinched between the rim during an impact with a curb or pothole or anything abrupt. If it protrudes inwards, that may just be where the tire is put together(the seam) Some tires show this worse than others. Usually the less expensive the tire the more noticable the seam is.Always keep the tire pressure correct according to the vehicle specs. usually on passenger car tires it will be somewhere between 29psi and 35psi. Hope this helps by the way, the passenger front tire is usually the tire that take a lot of abuse, hard to judge where that tire is from the driver's seat. (usually rubs curbs or hits the edge of the shoulder on the road more often)
